Abstract In the digital age, the ability to save, organize, and retrieve information is crucial. "Mis marcadores con móvil" (my mobile bookmarks) refers to the practice of using a smartphone’s browser or dedicated applications to save web pages, articles, videos, and other digital content for later use. This paper examines the shift from traditional desktop bookmarking to mobile-first solutions, analyzing the psychological, technical, and practical aspects of mobile bookmarking. It also addresses common problems such as link rot, information overload, and poor organization, while proposing effective strategies for managing mobile bookmarks. 1.

However, the phrase mis marcadores con móvil implies more than just saving links; it reflects a personal, often chaotic, system of knowledge management that differs significantly from desktop-based organization. 2. The Shift from Desktop to Mobile Bookmarking Traditional desktop browsers offered folder hierarchies, tag systems, and bookmark bars. Mobile interfaces, constrained by screen size and touch input, simplified the process but reduced organizational power. Key differences include: mis marcadores com movil
